Worst Quotes of the Week – April 3, 2021

“I own an AR-15. If there’s a natural disaster in South Carolina where the cops can’t protect my neighborhood, my house will be the last one that the gang will come to because I can defend myself.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham, during a discussion with FOX News’ Chris Wallace about last week’s mass shooting at a supermarket in Colorado

“But the last vestige of the pro-American meritocracy still standing was the U.S. military. From the progressive perspective, the military was too masculine, had way too many Republicans, and a dangerous knack of turning minorities into patriotic, self-reliant conservatives. This could not stand.  Michelle Obama’s decision to make military spouses her top initiative as First Lady was the first clue that they had their sights set on the U.S. Armed Forces.”

Rachel Campos-Duffy, on FOX News Primetime, April 1

Campos-Duffy was a member of MTV’s “Real World – San Francisco” cast in 1994 where her conservative views often put her at odds with her housemates.  I actually recall seeing her on that show.

“It’s time to teach corporate America that if they attack Georgia or any state like it for doing what they did to secure their right to vote, these corporations are going to face the wrath of GOP officials as well as the tens of millions of American consumers who support them. That means lobbyists and CEOs, they need to be told in no uncertain terms if you try to help the left rig elections, we’re going to punish you.”

Laura Ingraham, reacting to protests by corporations over Georgia’s new voting restrictions

A Centerfold Turns 40

I happened to see this classic music video the other day: “Centerfold” by the J. Geils Band.  Both the song and the video came out in 1981; meaning they’re both FORTY YEARS OLD!  Yes, folks, those of us who recall when this song was brand new are officially – mature.  Yeah – mature.  To make you feel even more vintage, this video was among the first that appeared on MTV, which debuted in 1981.  That’s the same year I began my senior year in high school.  Um…good God!

Well…whatever!  It’s still a great song!

“Video Killed the Radio Star”

This was the first video that MTV played, when it debuted on August 1, 1981, “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles.  Ah, 1981.  I began my senior year in high school and had just got my first car.  My thick collar-length hair was bleached auburn from a summer spent outdoors, and I was still a virgin.  What memories!
